World cup fever has started once again, I swore I wouldn't get into it but I've already watched a few matches. (Against my own will, I swear!) I guess the important match was the one with Brazil vs Australia. I was rooting for the Socceroos yet hoping Brazil would win. Its hard to match up to their technical skills really. But pfft, enough of soccer. I'm sick of it as it is.
And then again comes the time where friends start to leave, not known when to be seen again. All these exchange students, flying off to the other side of the world. Depressing days ahead. Not looking forward to sending them to the airport. It still very much is my enemy, the airport that is. I'm glad to say at least I have a few more 'permanent' friends now.
Had a 'conversation' with a friend about homosexual and gosh did it almost get heated. Homo-phobes irritate me. But of course, to each its own. I simply feel in this day and age people should be more open in their way of thinking. I was dumbfounded when this friend said that if his son (if he ever had one) were gay, he wouldn't give his approval/acknowledgement even if his supposed son's entire life's happiness depended on it.
Is homosexuality really such a wrong thing as people claim it to be, simply because it is against the law of nature, or science as some would call it? Ok, so it's a natural act for a man and woman to fornicate because reproduction is then made possible, but its not all about the sex, is it?! I don't see understand the bases of the arguments of homophobics, I think its simply the fact they fail to understand the whole concept of homosexuality, if they even tried to in the first place.
Perhaps its the stereotypes that society and media and portrayed the "gay world" to be, and I suppose a bit of cultural norms play a part. But why do people have to be so conservative in their way of thinking? It puzzles me......but then as i said, to each its own.
Its a neverending argument.

The oddity of the human behaviour continues to puzzle me without fail. Different characteristics, personalities, attitudes and of course, the quirks. I've met people from all walks of life, those I get along well with, those who make me clench my teeth and swallow nasty comments, and those who are simply in between. You know the kind I'm talking about, the ones who sometimes you have to smirk off because what they say or do is just so damn weird. They're bi-polar almost. Geddit?
It's like a man with who has a big ego and has to put up a macho, manly facade, seemingly cool and suave even though its completely unnecessary and pointless. Erm. That made sense as a thought in my head. Whatever.
What I don't get is why people have to act all different especially when they meet a person of the other sex. They become this other person that's unrecognisable to friends...girls get giggly, guys act cool. Do people feel like they always have to impress? As a society now that stereotypes everything, are we so afraid of being judged because of our own judgements of others? In my opinion, I believe its just a matter of us judging ourselves.
It irks me when a friend presents themselves to be not as who they are, but who they want me to see. They think so carefully before speaking and hold themselves back to the point of discomfort. The way I see it, you are who you are and no matter how hard you try to hide it, it will always come out in the end. We're not all stupid.
I sit around and I observe - its a habit, don't ask me where it came from. But you'd be surprised as to how much things you learn about human behaviour. When in a group, I'm always the quietest cuz i can't be bothered to raise my voice to speak above the rest. Its more pleasant to sit back and listen. Tells you a lot about an individual. Interesting really.
But what can I say, people are they way they are, as they have been for a long time. Certains things are just perplexing.

Uni is over for me and its winter break for me. Unfortunately, all my friends are busy preparing for exams whilst I roam about freely with nothing to do. Its not my fault my units don't require examinations! But anyways, good luck for the exams guys, we'll party hard together on the night of your last paper!
Its amazing how quickly ime flies by, I'm already done with my first year of Uni. Another 2 more years to go and I'm done. Geez. What am I gonna do then? Which direction to I go? I'm leaning towards Film and TV, most likely into becoming a producer/production manager. I'd choose to be a camera operator, but carrying the equipment would most likely kill me. Decisions, decisions. I'll put it off for now. 
Right now life's pretty smooth sailing, trying to have as little worries as possible. There are bigger things in life to focus on, and its a lot easier now I've settled in Perth for almost a year. Sadly, friends are still coming and leaving, literally. Sven and Claire will soon be leaving, I'm absolutely dreading those days. Another two more friends to add to the list of "I dunno when I'll see them again". Fucking sucks and I hate it. I don't wanna meet anymore international students cuz its too heartwrenching. It hurts.
